Download Unigine Heaven 3.0

As you can see, there are three different version including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems. To download the benchmark, please select one of the three available links: Guru3D, TPU and Torrent. If you ask me, I prefer the torrent link because it's the fastest way provided there, so let me help you and give you the link:[button color="orange" link="http://unigine.com/download/torrents/Unigine_Heaven-3.0.run.torrent"]Download Unigine Heaven 3.0 (Torrent)[/button]

Transmission app will automatically launch itself as being Ubuntu's default torrent client. Please apply and accept the rules in order to download the benchmark.

How to Install Unigine 3.0

First of browse into your Downloads folder and locate the Unigine_Heaven-3.0.run file.

Right click and select properties. Go to the second Tab (Permissions) and tick the "Allow executing file as program" checkbox. Close the file and then double click on it to run it.

Click "Run".

A new small window will pop up, extracting the Unigine Heaven 3.0 into your hard disk. Afterwards press Return (meaning Enter) to close the window.

As you can see a new folder Unigine-Heaven-3.0 has been created.

Inside, there are 3 folders and 1 file called heaven

If you use 32 bit version of Ubuntu you're lucky since there are no problems for x86. Just change the permissions to heaven file (please make it executable (like you did before). Right click and select properties. Go to the second Tab (Permissions) and tick the 'Allow executing file as program" checkbox. Close the file and double click on it.).

Unigine faulty heaven file for 64bit

We would like to thank Unigine support and Mr.Andrew Bayun for providing us this solution.

Unfortunately it seems, that launch script is not working right on 64 bit version of Ubuntu. We already fixed that issue.

As you can see from the screenshot below, there is no x86_64 launcher bash command... that's why 64bit Ubuntu users cannot run the benchmark.

Unigine Fatal Error

If you still cannot launch the benchmark, try "Run in Terminal" and see for the following message:

I am running this on 64 bit ubuntu 12.04 with an fx-6300 cpu and a radeon 7770 gpu and when i click to run, nothing, when i click to run in terminal, a flash of the terminal and then nothing. Quite frustrating to run a simple benchmark.

@Joshua CookTry this - Right cliick on Valley.run, in properties Tab check everything what is in second group of options, then click OK. Now you can double click on the file again, this should extract Valley to the specified folder. Now you can run the Benchmark by clicking on it and selectig option Run.

Hello I am trying to install Unigine Heaven 4.0 on Elementary OS Luna (Ubuntu 12.04) and I get the files extracted but when I try and launch via the Terminal it tells me the ./bin doesn't exist as well as ./launcher_x64. I am using the provide heaven file from above but still am having no luck. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Using multiple cores and processors simultaneously to achieve faster compression and decompression rates is possible nowadays with the new generation of multi-core cpu's. Using the following methods to create compressed backups of your files will be less time consuming.
